“I cant lie, thats not my No.
Were you surprised by that?
What were your reads?

They gave us theRuPaulfilter, because half the girls did not look as gorgeous as they look on camera.
That’s all I’m going to say.
Did you have a talent prepared if it was a talent show?

I was going to dance, because a lot of people don’t know that I’m a dancer.
I’ve been dancing since 13 in professional dance groups.
That’s how I knew Naysha.
I was going to do a cute little dance number.
What did you mean?
You have to be cohesive.
I wasn’t that confident with the choreography, I felt that it was all over the place.
Did you voice your concern?
One thing about Monica this time, I don’t have a filter.
That’s where the nerves came from in the challenge?
And seeing the other group perform, they were being themselves and everything fell together so good.
Do you think you would’ve fared better in the other group?
Yes, definitely, because I love choreography, but what I do best is be myself.
I’m a girl from the streets, so I’m very aware of my surroundings.
I know how this game works.
I played it as if everybody had an alliance.
At judging,Michellesaid she could feel your nerves, and you got emotional.
I know the judges felt it.
Watching it back, I’m cringing.
What do I do?
Do I just stay quiet or let them know how I feel?
Is it more difficult receiving those critiques now?
Yeah, because people hold you to a standard, and you hold yourself to a standard.
You said in our prior interview that you almost quit drag.
Did leavingAll Starsgive you that same outlook?
Right now, that’s my No.
It drives me and makes me look forward to stuff every day.
Helping others has helped me in the long run.
1 go-to at the moment.
Let’s talk aboutUntucked.Alexisbroke down over her prior reception.
How did you feel about that?
I felt kind of disgusted at the moment with her, but what can I expect?
I felt like, there she goes, stealing the show!
It was supposed to be Kahanna’s moment, and then all of that happened.
Are you okay with Alexis now?
We’re very close.
I really do like this cast.
Did you have a conversation afterward?
We did, last week at press after we saw it.
What I’m not going to do is twit and twat.
I don’t fight on Instagram and do all that ghetto stuff, that’s not me.
If you’re around me, we’re going to address the situation whether you like it or not.
I brought it to her.
Me and Naysha have known each other so long, I feel like she didn’t take it seriously.
I was told you didn’t vote for me, and I find out on TV youdidvote for me.
That kind of put a little bit of a bad taste in my mouth.
But me and Naysha have that pop in of relationship.
You didn’t find out until the premiere?
It can be scary to confront that in a personal relationship.
Oh, it is.
She knows how I am.
That’s where we are at the moment.
You haven’t let it go?
I’m Puerto Rican.
But I will, though, when I want to.
That’s how families work things out.
You’ll get through it eventually!
Can you take me back to the moment Aja pulled your lipstick, revealing the group voted you out?
What ran through your mind at that moment?
It didn’t hit me that the girls voted for me until I got back to the hotel room.
Does it hurt more coming from the judges or your sisters when you’re eliminated?
Coming from the girls, of course.
It was like, also, excuse my language, f— them bitches, they missed out.
So, whatever, they wanted me to go home?
That’s on them.
I love that part.
What can you tease about your runways coming up?
